Alternative Block Off Plates than Graves

[Spunky99]

The only negative to the block offs is that you are polluting like a mo' fo' with the unused fuel and wouldn't pass an emissions inspection. Additionally, it might be possible that the unused fuel may burn up afx cans quicker, but I can't exactly comment on that as of yet, so it's just speculation.

I think that whether you have the block offs on or off doesn't reduce the amount of unburned fuel in the exhaust system. You are only changing the unburned fuel/air mix. You have no CAT so none of it is going to burn anyway.
Also if you dyno the bike, the map will be more efficient for a complete burn.

Without the CAT it will pollute more tho.....it's not as much as a 1956 chevy with a 427 and no emissions tho or an old VW bug from the 1960's...

The most likely place that you will get the exhaust leak is probably at the headers and exhaust manifold. I still think I have one from when I installed mine. I believe it would sound like the yami tick, but louder.

Hrm k, doesn't appear to have a ticking sound. Next time I go to the bike I'm gonna check everything anyway and do a chain cleaning.

I know I know.. I just have a soft spot for classic cars. :spank::banghead:

Did you know VW's from the 50's-70's only got around 20mpg on avg? Yep! My dad had 5 when i was a kid, plus the 56 chevy, 66 chevelle SS 396.

A lot of guys replaced the engines in them Chevys round here....

I had a 57' with a Corvette 327 in it with headers and railroad ties welded to the back of the frame for sparking...Ya..I had a 57' Chevy low rider sleeper in 1970. My buddy had a 64' Impala lowered too and we both had surf racks mounted on top...LOL....

I gave him a heads up about the FZ6-R forums and that I posted here. Maybe he could give a group buy discount or something if someone wants to talk to him about it.

I don't see a need to really get these when you have a stock setup though but if you'd like you can try or research it.

anyone have an actually link to the block off plates?

Go to powderkegracing.com I believe is the web site of Powder Keg Racing in Wisconsin. I bought mine off eBay from them and they were only about $10 if that, with free shipping. Just ask, or look, for the R6 or R1 plates as they will fit the FZ6R as well.
